Check-In Post December 28th 2020

[badly_knitted]

Hello to all members, and welcome to our regular daily check-in post. Just leave a comment below to let us know how your current projects are progressing, or even if they're not.

Checking in is NOT compulsory, check in as often or as seldom as you want, this community isn't about pressure it's about encouragement, motivation, and support. Crafting is meant to be fun, and what's more fun than sharing achievements and seeing the wonderful things everyone else is creating?

There may also occasionally be questions, but again you don't have to answer them, they're just a way of getting to know each other a bit better.


Today's Question: I've run out of questions!


If anyone has any questions of their own about the community, or suggestions for tags, questions to be asked on the check-in posts, or if anyone is interested in playing check-in host for a week here on the community, which would entail putting up the daily check-in posts and responding to comments, go to the Questions & Suggestions post and leave a comment.

I now declare this Check-In OPEN!

26 rows knitted on my arm warmers. Struggling to keep warm after a month without heat.

Did you have snow today?

[stonepicnicking_okapi]

I do hope you get heat soon!

[badly_knitted]

Thankls. It would be nice, but until I can find someone willing and able to do the necessary work I'm stuck.

[badly_knitted]

Thankfully no, not so far, but the temperature didn't rise above 2 C, so very cold. Snow is the last thing I need.

I haven't touched crafts in days. I didn't get my mom's doily done so she got an IOU. Things calming down here though, husband back to work.

Here's a photo of my dog dressed up for Christmas Zoom. She hates sweaters and pouts 20-30 minutes.

What color is this one? I'm starting to feel like I need some just because.

[badly_knitted]

I'm using a multicoloured yarn that was unpicked from something else, although I have no idea what. It's green, purple, yellow, orangey pink, and various shades in between. It's pretty.

Just as a further kick to the teeth, it's now snowing. Why does the universe hate me?

[badly_knitted]

She does look cosy though!

[darkcedars]

Oh no. Sleeting here today but our heater is functional....

[darkcedars]

She gets cold easily but hates clothes sooooo much. Feels that snuggling under a blanket is a better way.

[badly_knitted]

All I've got is an electric heater and it's making little difference. 5 weeks of no heat and I think the inside of my fridge is warmer than the kitchen. Boiled a kettle for washing up and it was almost cold by the time I'd finished washing the dishes less than 10 minutes later. Beginning to think I'll be without heat all winter, and it's set to get even colder here over the next week or so.

[badly_knitted]

I'm for both right now.

I LOVE HER

When I put a sweater on her, the look on her face is like she's reevaluating her life choices.
